: LAKE LAMAR BRUCE: Surface temps are running in the 60s and clear. Most anglers this past week have been crappie fishing, and it has been good. Most are trolling dark colored jigs or small crankbaits along the creek channel out from the lake office while others are pole fishing around sunken brushtops or laydowns. Most crappie being caught are around 3/4 lb. The bream reports are good as well. Most fish are coming on crickets out of 12ft of water on the flats. The old swimming area continues to be a popular area. The bass reports have been fair. Anglers are reporting success throwing flukes and jerkbaits along flats around the dam with other anglers are throwing crankbaits and t-rigged plastics around piers and stumpbeds in 10-12 ft of water.

| About: -
Lake Lamar
Bruce, once known as Lake Lee,
was opened in
1954. It is one of 21 state fishing lakes
operated by the Mississippi Department of
Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. Historically
known for its tremendous bream fishery, the
lake also contains good populations of
largemouth bass, crappie and channel catfish. Renovations
during the last two years of existing
gravel beds and other fish attractors make Lamar
Bruce a popular destination. Three fishing
piers located along the shoreline provide good
bank access. A new boat ramp accommodates
boats of all sizes. Presently,
there are no harvest regulations for any
species. However, statewide creel limits do apply.
Sportfishing licenses are required to fish with the
exception of July 4th. Fishing permits are
also required.
